I've always been intrigued and fascinated by breakin'. Perhaps because when I was young it was probably the first thing to captivate me about hip hop. This is Crazy Smooth, one of Ottawa's best breaker's. Utmost respect.

I'd like to post Friday's episode but unfortunately I couldn't get it. We were pre-empted this week (and will be again, once more on Feb. 1st) by a University basketball game. We aired live online only. We'll be back to normal this week though.

As for this post, I've decided to attempt my own version of a blog between shows. There's too much going on to not post about. Most of which I'm posting on my Facebook page at the moment. Mostly videos, but also news on various things I come across. The other thing I thought I'd post about was my own personal thoughts on what goes on here in Ottawa. Land of the lost. For now though, I'll end with the following and get some rest as I've been sick for the past several days.
